What did Jonathan did for that region at all? If someone from that region did nothing, dont blame the one from the north who is not doing anything. Jonathan was in the best position to develop that region .

The same Jonathan that you hated so much, the one you didn't even want as president, the Jonathan that you bombed and supported those who bombed him from day one? Abeg go sleep.

I beg to disagree....!

The problem of Niger Delta is not the government but the leaders and their elders!

I don't know if you stayed in that region before then you would understand what Jonathan mean by "stealing is not corruption".

Everyone you see making noise in that region are not interested in the well-being of the region but they only want to get their share of the national cake and relocate!

Jonathan was there for 6yrs, what was his achievement for the region?

Timpolo, Asari, boyloff, Orubebe, Clark to mention but a few, what was their contribution towards the development of that region? All those guys I mentioned are billionaires, how do they get their money?

ND should go and put their house in order

nnam okwu gi gbara okpuru (elder ur talk is wonderful) i remember late abacha, whenever he calls for community meeting from ND when their elders goes to abuja, they will just collect ghana must go and forget their people, ND should go and ask elder edwin clark, amaechi, orubebe, infact their leaders

EVILFOREST:
Lazy people
Even if u allocate $10 million every day to BAYELSA STATE.... it will still remain like that...
It's not about the ALLOCATION, it's about the CONTENT OF THE CHARACTER of the kind of people found there.
I don't hate them.

They are my people.

where are you from...state and town...

Omeny:


The question I keep asking pple like you is, was it the people of Lagos and Abuja FG gave money to that made these places what they are today with Oil money or FG carried out massive devt and put policies in place!

How many times have we shouted for pple like you to hear that ND don't need peanuts given to few people from resources God in his wisdom blessed our region with?

Let FG on their own focus on ND developmentally.
U can not give few pple 1kobo from 1000k from resources u got from their place and said go ask ur pple.
The money FG shares is for individuals carrying out development for all is another thing.
This will only happen in the ND because I know,the west won't take it talkless the North.
Resource control and True Federalism was stopped in Nig immediately oil was found, have you ask urself why?

God Bless Nig.

The question is what has the Ministry of Niger Delta and the NDDC plus the 13% oil derivative achieved?

erico2k2:

Stop talking about stuff U know nothing about what about the government commitment ? Do U know how long it took a certain governor in Delta state to change his village ?

Sir, u are yet to make a valid point. Commitment or no commitment, action speak louder. Wen we see it and we can feel it, we know what to call it

Legitbaba:


Imagine...oil was discovered over 50 years ago...and all u could talk about was how Jonathan spent 6 years

Yea...I'll blame Jonathan for not doing enough....buh u know Nigeria with their fucckking federal character shit... whatever the Niger Delta is benefiting, the north wants to get their own share too, if not, trouble don come.

BTW...none of the people u mentioned is a politician...they are like every other citizen bar the fact that they were militants...they didn't get their monies from looting or being in govt. ...don't u have billionaires in the north?? Or any other part in Nigeria?? Because we have them billionaires, govt. Shouldnt do anything for u??

Na Lugard do all this shiit

Tell me that they didn't lift crude oil and export illegally

Or they did not benefit huge sums from the government and the companies there

Just tell me

Asari got a whooping $10m p/a ooo, TEN FVCKING MILLION AMERICAN DOLLARS FOR PIPELINE PROTECTION CONTRACT UNDER GEJ.
That's 2bn naira a year, 2bn for 8years = 16bn for asari in 8 years of yar'adua /gej. N16bn!

Today ALL his INVESTMENTs are in Benin republic... ALL!

Then u wonder WHY HE CAN BE SHOUTING ND WILL BOIL, URGING NDA to continue bombing when HE HAS NO INVESTMENT there thus ONE NAIRA won't leave his pocket!

Later one ignorant niger deltan will tell me northerners sucking ND DRY.

When upon all bayelsa(with the highest allocation received) has no magnificent bridge in the state linking different areas when bridges (built by state govt full lagos) with high allocation and large population.

Bayelsans even import water from delta

ogb5:


Is your hatred for the Niger delta inbuilt or was it acquired?

How did Jonathan's rule of 2010 to 2015 equal 6 yrs.

Did you get F9 in maths?

See ya sef,he made good points all u did was just point out a mathematical error in his post. Give us ur own facts.

Oga, don't take it personal, between, i don't hate Jonathan, its jus attitude towards corruption that irritate me, i still cant forget stealing is not corruption. Also, i support no one, i only support anything good i see. All these politician are bird of sane feather. They are just different how they operate

jesse2baba:
All of you should be quarrelling over North, south, Delta blah blah blah..

meanwhile all these old men old enough to be our grandfather are using our heads to play ludo.

and somewhere in osun state a man is planning on how to send his son to school.

youths should stand up oh. all this old men are playing with our brains oh!! we will kill for them, do things for them. they have enjoyed their youth and are still enjoying our youth..

My brother, please start minding your business on this ND issue like i have started doing.

I have come to realize that most people that come here to make noise for the ND have never even stepped foot in the creeks and see things for themselves.

The people themselves have an inherent problem, though the FG share part of the blame oo.

Even Orubebe's community, Ogbugbagbene in Burutu LGA Delta state, based on info from a good source, does not have a good link road to dryland.

Also, does it matter if i hate Jonathan or like him? I cant stop him from developing his region. So, pls, that isn't an excuse

Someone had just said the truth but, the ethnic blind covering our focus would not allow us to see and even understand. I also stay in ND, and I can boldly say the problem of Niger Delta is not the Federal government, it's just now that money is no longer changing hands that they want to react. How many ministry do we have for only Niger Delta?

We have NDDC, Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs, and all the PADECs (e.g. DESOPADEC, OSOPADEC, RSOPADEC etc) and money is being allocated to these ministries in every financial year. What can we show for these ministries? Nothing! . I reiterate that the problem of ND is their leaders and representatives. They are not after the well being of ND but, rather their pocket. Will a sane person pollutes his own environment and kill his people? I pity the region anyway. I stay on Bonny Island and there is no single road linking the island to PH. In my research, I discovered the road project was abandoned because the jetty business is the source of wealth to the leaders of the island, and because of that, they denied their subjects infrastructure and good road. The major reason why things I damn expensive here. Your leaders are your immediate problem Niger Delta. That's the ugly truth but they won't listen. That's my problem with them. Continue bombing you hear?

The saga continues.

Then if all these agencies and ur %tages has proven ineffective, and an avenue to loot pple's patrimony, let FG scrap them all. Don't give anybody any money,then Build ND for us and our children with natural wealth from God! How diff is this for the Nig state?
Nigeria as a country owns it a duty, to develop the ND for the sacrifices that region has given Nigeria. It is NEVER in our history to use another pple's wealth to go develop other regions all in the name of one Nig except Oil from ND. Oil palm from the East,Rubber from the Mid-west,Ground Nut from the North,Cocoa from the west where all spent in their regions!

are there not individuals like ur Asari,tompolo and Goodluck in abuja and Lagos? Were they the one that developed Lagos and abuja?what stopped government from developing ND just like Abuja?Let's say Good luck failed the region, but why happened to his predecessors? The fact remain fg has not been fair to ND region.

I totally agree with the bold, let's hope when that day comes when we have a leader that can be bold enough to do this, people won't start screaming marginalization without looking at the big picture.



God bless Nigeria

It's funny you discarded the points he raised while focusing on inconsequential maths. I served in one of these oil communities and I can confidently say leadership at community level is one of the major things causing unrest in that region. The FG cannot be left out too.

Abeg no mind dat dude, instead of him to prove u wrong with facts, he is doing mathematics

Call it the Genesis of Nigeria Problem, our own Garden of Eden. MAY God help us....

For you to quote GEJ and say "stealing is not corruption" shows that you are not sincere. Because that statement have been explained over and over again.

Sorry we all support and have soft spot for one political movement or the other and we all do so hypocritically. So that line can't hold water.. Finally, my earlier post still stands.

cruz419:

Bros all dis Grammer because of a man who life don beta pls take it easy ehn b4 sine thing else will happen to u,, u complaining of Jonathan who ruled for 6 year Wen was oiled discovered and how many president have we gotten from d south Dat e has to make d place look lyk London in just 6year agreed e might no have don much but d man tired his best,,, take it or leave it,, and today he is been celebrated out side dis country so Bros calm down!!!!

nnam i prefer nobody celebrate me my people enjoy than celebrating me while my people perish

Oil and the north remains our only problem. I wish these two re absent, our sweet and peaceful would our country av been....

Luggard, posterity will never forgive u

Y will der not fight?

Has anyone noticed they discovered the oil on a Sunday? Dem no dey go church? no wonder the oil becomes a curse.

smh for this country

princetom1:


Sorry oga, pls, come back and counter his argument. U have not really made a poknt but what we already knew. Between, all these militant, do they got their money from businesses?

No dey never got it from business...they got it from u...what do u even understand by business?? So selling ur own properties is nt a business?? Or securing a pipeline surveillance contract is not a business??

The fact is that dre is no Unity in ND. All they are fighting 4 is every1 should get dre own share from FG and leave the community and establish outside.

Cos I don't see d reason why dis place will look terrible like dis upon the money they receiving frm FG.

I petty dem 4 dre attitude!

[size=20pt]The north or Federal Government did not cause the deplorable conditions of life in underdeveloped areas of the Niger Delta, but the Niger Deltans themselves are their own worst enemies.
They are very evil fetish people who believe in cultism and hindering the progress and success of their fellow villagers.
I am speaking from experience.

On Bonny Island for example, the Nigeria LNG Limited for the past 14 years has given them 24 hours regular power supply and water supply, but they have remained underdeveloped.

They fought against the construction of a bridge from Bonny Island to Port Harcourt, because they want their people to keep on using their canoes and speed boats every day.
A bridge will make the journey from Bonny Island to Port Harcourt only 45 minutes. But they preferred to reject the bridge and use canoes and boats to cross the Bonny Channel for two hours, because they want to continue making money charging N1, 000-N1, 500 per passenger on their overloaded boats and have caused the unfortunate deaths of many people in mishaps when overloaded boats capsized.

They will collect government contracts and jobs and misappropriate the revenue allocations.

The late political activist Ken Saro-Wiwa was a Commissioner in Rivers State when he was only 26 and many of his colleagues were young men and women. But what did they achieve with the big government appointments and contracts given to them?
They failed to develop their communities.

Former President of Nigeria, Mr. Goodluck Jonathan, PhD, was Deputy Governor and then Governor of Bayelsa State before unforeseen circumstances favoured him to become the Vice President and President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. But what did he achieve for his community Otuoke and the rest of Bayelsa State? Yet, he misappropriated billions of both state and federal revenue allocations to enrich himself and his greedy beneficiaries who are the troublemakers still crying wolf today.[/size].

ojialo:



keep blaming Jonathan, when did we discovered oil in Nigeria? when did that oil well began operation? I guess Jonathan was the president then till 2015.

Keep deceiving yourself.

And u want to blame buhari?your own done better
